No, an R-rated cut of the Five Nights at Freddy's movie does not exist. The movie was always intended to be PG-13. Blumhouse went for a PG-13 FNAF film right from the beginning to get the film a widespread appeal. An R-rating limits movies to a smaller audience.
Director and co-writer Emma Tammi recently dispelled persistent internet rumors concerning a gorier version of the video game adaptation (now playing in theaters everywhere and streaming exclusively on Peacock), which nabbed an official PG-13 rating for "strong violent content, bloody images and language." That's ...
Universal ended up releasing an unrated version on Peacock after its initial release. 'Five Nights at Freddy's' opens on 27 October in cinemas and on Peacock from Universal Pictures.
The MPAA has given Five Nights at Freddy's a PG-13 rating, citing “strong violent content, bloody images, and language.” These elements might seem par for the course when it comes to horror movies but they actually make it slightly more difficult for some of the game's biggest fans to see the film.
Characters receive bloody wounds and are even eaten by a monster. A handful of characters are killed, and while the scenes are made to be scary and intense, the killings themselves are not overly gratuitous or explicit.
Director Emma Tammi has stated in several interviews ahead of the film's release that her film was always designed to be PG-13 and an R-rated cut is not in the works. Rumors have circulated online that Universal will eventually release an R-rated “Freddy's,” but Tammi is denying such claims.
Well so many were hoping for the FNaF Movie to be Rated R I already had a feeling it would get either a 14+ rating (Which seems like it is treated like it no longer exists) or PG13 which ended up being the rating it got.
A lot of the violence is depicted off-screen, but with occasional gory aftermath and without shying away from showing blood. Man gets his face eaten by a character, aftermath is later shown. A character gets killed offscreen. A man gets cut multiple times in one scene only blood.

In this content, unrated means that this particular media instance has not been rated through a ratings process. This frequently means that a work has never been self-rated or submitted to a ratings body, for example, because of the nature of the work (e.g., a sporting event) or for budgetary reasons.
Five Nights at Freddy's mostly relies on jump scares and psychological horror in order to frighten players. There are explicit scenes of violence when animatronics attack players, though it's not considered to be overly gory.
Scenes of strong, sustained threat and violence accompany an unsettling theme of child abduction. Strong violence features stabbings, slashings with bladed instruments and an undetailed decapitation, resulting in bloody aftermath injury detail. There is sustained threat, some of which is of a supernatural nature.
Common Sense Media deemed the movie suitable for kids 14 and up, cautioning about its many depictions of violence and terror. Those include scenes showing young children being abducted, a man getting killed by a whirling saw, monsters biting a man in half and a man choking and then stabbing a woman.
Five Nights at Freddy's movie earns a PG-13 rating due to strong violent content, bloody images, and language, in line with typical hallmarks of a PG-13 film.
In fact, it looks as though they may not have even filmed much darker, more violent footage. So, sorry Five Nights at Freddy's fans — a darker director's cut may not even be possible. “Going into production we knew that we wanted to really stick [to] a PG-13 rating for this movie,” Tammi told GamesRadar+.
However, Tammi revealed there are no current plans for that to be a reality. "We knew that some of the fan base would want an R-rated version of this film," she said.
The Five Nights at Freddy's movie aimed for a PG-13 rating to include a younger audience and used creative techniques to depict kills without showing gore. Fans of the game are more accepting of the lighter rating as it stays true to the source material's lack of on-screen violence.
